According to Timothy Snyder's "On Freedom" (2024) there are these five forms of freedom:
- Sovereignty
- Unpredictability
- Mobility
- Factuality
- Solidarity
We need all of them. #freedom #sovereignty #unpredictability #mobility #factuality #solidarity
Just watched The Blues Brothers. Wonderful movie!

It has great music. I guess that happens when you have names like Aretha Franklin, James Brown and Ray Charles in the cast. 🤩
Oh and also Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia!) as the Mystery Woman.
I made this little machine to water the tomato plants while I'm away on vacation. It uses a Raspberry Pi computer with an electric motor from the "camjam edukit 3". The Raspberry Pi runs a little python program to run the motor to get water flowing, then sleep a few seconds, then run the motor backwards to stop the water again. It works! 🎉
Tomato plants growing fast! First photo is from June 28, second photo from today, so about a month later. The biggest one is about 25 cm tall now. 🌱
I planted some tomato seeds about 10 days ago, they all came up nicely so far and now they are about 3-4 cm tall. They were indoors until today but now I put them on the balcony, hoping the wind won't break them. Good luck, little guys!
